Welcome to the "tree huggers"-warning: genealogy can be (very) addictive! Have
learned much along the way in my own short journey with all this in last few years. Best
is that there are some wonderful, kind, and helpful people out there that are generous
with their time and knowledge whenyou hit frustrations and need fresh eyes and ideas.
I have some census info that is probably your family. Could not locate on 1930 census,
even using Jack. Perhaps someone else can. 1920 man is a guess. Otherswise, this should
get your on your way at least, if this is new info for you.
